Explanation:

Step1: Find closet area

Since the bedroom area is 54 square - feet and it is 6 times the area of the closet, we divide the bedroom area by 6.
$54\div6 = 9$ square feet

Step2: Find closet length

The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $A$ is area, $l$ is length and $w$ is width. We know $A = 9$ square feet and $w = 3$ feet. So we solve for $l$: $l=\frac{A}{w}$.
$l=\frac{9}{3}=3$ feet

Answer:

The area of the closet is 9 square ft. The length of the closet is 3 feet.
